Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing
This book takes you on an adventure of personal development through the detective work of Creative Kinesiology. Muscle testing gives us the powerful tool we need to delve into any problem. It allows the body to show us what is going on physically, emotionally and in our feelings, with the mind and the spiritual self. Using maps of the body, subtle energies and clues to the problem gives the tracker the direction of healing. Working creatively with the person and their intent for healing gives us all we need for healing and inner work to begin and continue. We look at the way the latest discoveries from the scientific world add new perspectives on the way the body systems work – or don’t. Plumbing the depths of our being takes us to the reasons for our stress and anxiety – the traumas, large and small that can create problems in any part of us, including the digestive system, the brain and the nervous system. We may have lost our ability to look forward and reach for our visions and dreams. Help is there for us; in the exercises and techniques we can use for ourselves; some are introduced in the book. Increasing our awareness of the body’s messages can give us the healing impetus to help ourselves and can take us to practitioners, both in the natural health world and in the medical profession.
Discover this gentle and powerful approach to healing and health for yourself as you read the book – a healing journey in itself.
Excerpt
Introduction
Become the Detective
I have puzzled long and hard about how to
explain the wonders of Creative Kinesiology. It has been and still is, the
focus of my working life since the 1980s, becoming a way of life as well as a
vocation.
It is now early 2020 and for me this is a
year of completion as I step back from the day to day running of Creative
Kinesiology. So far, the decade has been marked by a new virus – the corona
virus - that is impacting us all. We have no idea where this will lead in the
future, although it seems that diff erences in our social structure and
possibly our approach to our health and wellbeing are likely. After all, it
must be true that the better our immune systems are working the less likely we
are to be infected with the viruses and bacteria that can make life diffi cult.
I would love to see us all take charge of our health and wellbeing, by doing
what we can to prevent ill health and to become more aware of the How of it. Th
is is my purpose in writing about my work and the approach I take for myself
and for those people I work with. I am truly thankful that I have access to so
much knowledge and wisdom in the world that can help in this quest. I am
hopeful that this book will speak to you in this way and encourage you and
those you work with to seek ways to be full of vitality and enthusiasm for
life.
Within this book are many of the stories
and experiences that have kept me going for most of my life. Discovering the
art and science of muscle testing has been significant, opening doors to my
inner self, as well as helping me to help other people. The feedback it gives
from the individual being muscle tested, the unique self we all inhabit, shines
through as we track problems and difficulties.
Yet – even now – muscle testing is not
widely known. In the early 1990s I was one of a group of muscle testers in the
UK who set up the Kinesiology Federation, an umbrella organisation for this
relatively new natural therapy. It included the fairly well-established Touch
for Health and several new branches of kinesiology that were being developed at
the time. Muscle testing was what we all had in common.
It had emerged from the world of American
chiropractic that added to it the ancient art of acupuncture theory and
practice from the Orient, newly popularised in the West.
One of the main aims of bringing the
different kinesiology approaches together, forming an umbrella for all, was to
publicise kinesiology and the wonders of muscle testing. At the same time other
natural health approaches, such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, were becoming
well known. Now 30 years later, although kinesiology is better known many
people still say ‘Kin … what?’ when I talk to them about what I do.
What I do, in fact, is speak to the
whole-body system of a person and listen to what the entire system is saying.
For me, understanding what my body is attempting to say to me has been
extraordinary.
Our bodies speak. They respond to our
symptoms and difficulties and show us the way to the body’s priority order for
healing. Our bodies speak in the only way they know how – with twinges, good
vibes, pain, pleasure or discomfort – and any of the other possible millions of
responses. Symptoms can be the body’s only way of getting our attention.
Protection and survival of the self are the only things that
really matter to the body and it will do anything to ensure this happens.
Throughout this book I am your tracker
and guide. I stand alongside you as a support and supplier of the maps that may
help you find your location in a particular landscape. I can witness and hear
what you are saying and recognise your distress. I have several tools that will
help to bring balance to your story and promote change when the time is right
and when your body asks for this to happen. I am not the only one who is able
to do this; we have a body of Creative Kinesiologists who do the same in many
parts of the UK and abroad.
Other kinesiology modalities offer
similar help, using muscle testing to discover what is happening for a person.
As you read this book, I lead you on the
journey of the hero or heroine that begins with courage – the courage to jump
off the cliff or set out along a path into the unknown. You will start, as we
all do, with following five gifts.
• Your talents – known and those yet to
be discovered.
• Your knowledge and skills – gained in
your life so far.
• Your incredibly valuable life
experience – your story.
• Your body that remembers everything and
knows all about you.
• Your enthusiasm and passion for
discovery and learning more about how you tick.
This is the starting point for a journey
into the symptoms, difficulties, problems, stresses, traumas and issues you may
be struggling with.
Through muscle testing we can track our
way through all of these issues that have led us to this point. Having arrived,
it is possible to accept and recognise this place you are in, and to discover
if you and your entire bodily system is ready to change. Along the way we can rediscover and promote balance in all aspects of our being
including: body; mind; emotion; and spirit. Creative Kinesiology offers us the
tools to do exactly this. Keeping our balance helps us to develop resilience
and the ability to stand, rather than fall, with whatever life throws at us.
This book outlines the work of Creative
Kinesiology by travelling the trackways and landscapes to view our stories in
bodily form.
Creative Kinesiologists are detectives;
we love to discover the story and the story behind the story. These hidden
stories are rich as they release their treasures, as well as the energy that
has been locked up and can now be ready to use. The tools we learn add to our
innate gifts and talents, helping us to restore balance for ourselves as well
as other people. Our maps guide us, offering keys to unlock difficulties along
the way. They tell us what we need to know for the journey ahead.
When we are ready to look at what lies
behind us from our past, our ancestral heritage and the societal past we are a
part of, as well as what is beneath our feet, we may discover important earth
energies (those around or beneath us) which are present in a balanced life. We
see that our connection with the natural world actually enhances our healing
capacity and wellbeing enormously. Looking into the reality of our innermost
thoughts and beliefs can unfold the deepest treasures, coming from what may
have been locked away and discounted for a very long time.
At any time, we may find our clients and
ourselves, in the thick of it. We may discover the origins of discomforts,
aches and pains and even disconnections of our heart and soul. When we are in
the woods and the pathway through may be unclear these can be the labyrinths of
old hurts, trauma and wounding. We may find that we are stuck in repeated
patterns, habits or emotional quick-sands not yet unearthed.
This is when we stay
alongside our client or ourselves, to help them and us find the path, while
offering clues to the way through.
As we emerge from the deep woods we can
breathe and look around us. Our tools help us to find the energy we need to
move on, to change if we need to, or to find the new perspective that will help
us to get through this particular knotty problem. As a result, we build our
resilience and are more able to deal with life’s ups and downs and the
challenges they present us with.
Throughout all of this, we work with the
two following major precepts.
1. Our aim as the tracker is to be
alongside the person on their journey – working always in their highest and
best interests.
2. The person’s intention or goal for
their healing is vital – the tracker uses this intention as the compass to
guide the direction of the sessions.
Intention is paramount because it shows
the tracker the direction to take, it gears the body and all the systems of
your being to demonstrate what is out of balance, what is the priority issue
and what healing help may be needed. Above all, it will show the way to your
next point of change with the healing that may benefit you on your journey to
your destination, your vision for the life you wish to lead.
